Restaurant review: Osteria Lucio, Dublin 2

FEW of us eat out for purely sustenance reasons. These days, we do so for pleasure. 

This idea is often credited to the French and it is true that the first restaurants as we know them were created after the French Revolution by the unemployed chefs of the recently guillotined aristocracy.

Of course for a millennia or so you could eat out in the local pub, however, this was usually just the dish of the day (pot-luck).
